  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,

  ]
}'

​

Request with Encoding

curl https://rpc.orbitflare.com -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "getMultipleAccounts",
  "params": [
    ["ACCOUNT1", "ACCOUNT2"],
    {
      "encoding": "base64",
      "dataSlice": {
        "offset": 0,
        "length": 100
      }
    }
  ]
}'

Using web3.js

import { Connection, PublicKey } from '@solana/web3.js';

const connection = new Connection('https://rpc.orbitflare.com');

// Get multiple accounts
const accounts = await connection.getMultipleAccounts([
  new PublicKey('ACCOUNT1'),
  new PublicKey('ACCOUNT2')
]);
console.log('Accounts:', accounts.value);

// Get account data slices
async function getAccountDataSlices(
  pubkeys: PublicKey[],
  offset: number,
  length: number
) {
  const accounts = await connection.getMultipleAccounts(pubkeys, {
    encoding: 'base64',
    dataSlice: { offset, length }
  });
  
  return accounts.value.map((account, index) => ({
    pubkey: pubkeys[index].toBase58(),
    exists: account !== null,
    data: account?.data[0],
    lamports: account?.lamports
  }));
}

​

Notes

1. Returns information for multiple accounts in a single request
2. Non-existent accounts are returned as null
3. Account data can be sliced to reduce response size
4. The response is immediate as it reads from the current state
5. Different encodings can be specified for account data

​

Best Practices

1. Use this method to efficiently fetch multiple accounts
2. Consider using dataSlice to reduce response size
3. Cache results when appropriate to reduce RPC load
4. Handle null values for non-existent accounts
5. Use appropriate encoding based on your needs

Use Cases

1. Account Batch Processing

   interface AccountBatch {
     accounts: Array<{
       pubkey: string;
       exists: boolean;
       lamports: number;
       owner: string;
       executable: boolean;
     }>;
     totalLamports: number;
     metadata: {
       timestamp: number;
       slot: number;
     };
   }
   
   async function processAccountBatch(
     pubkeys: PublicKey[],
     chunkSize: number = 100
   ): Promise<AccountBatch> {
     const accounts: AccountBatch['accounts'] = [];
     let totalLamports = 0;
     
     for (let i = 0; i < pubkeys.length; i += chunkSize) {
       const chunk = pubkeys.slice(i, i + chunkSize);
       const result = await connection.getMultipleAccounts(chunk);
       
       chunk.forEach((pubkey, index) => {
         const account = result.value[index];
         const exists = account !== null;
         
         accounts.push({
           pubkey: pubkey.toBase58(),
           exists,
           lamports: account?.lamports || 0,
           owner: account?.owner.toBase58() || '',
           executable: account?.executable || false
         });
         
         if (exists) {
           totalLamports += account.lamports;
         }
       });
     }
     
     return {
       accounts,
       totalLamports,
       metadata: {
         timestamp: Date.now(),
         slot: accounts[0]?.slot || 0
       }
     };
   }
   

2. Account Data Analysis

   interface AccountDataAnalysis {
     pubkey: string;
     dataSize: number;
     dataHash: string;
     lamports: number;
     owner: string;
     metadata: {
       timestamp: number;
       slot: number;
     };
   }
   
   async function analyzeAccountData(
     pubkeys: PublicKey[],
     dataSlice?: { offset: number; length: number }
   ): Promise<AccountDataAnalysis[]> {
     const accounts = await connection.getMultipleAccounts(pubkeys, {
       encoding: 'base64',
       dataSlice
     });
     
     return accounts.value.map((account, index) => {
       const pubkey = pubkeys[index].toBase58();
       
       if (!account) {
         return {
           pubkey,
           dataSize: 0,
           dataHash: '',
           lamports: 0,
           owner: '',
           metadata: {
             timestamp: Date.now(),
             slot: accounts.context.slot
           }
         };
       }
       
       const data = account.data[0];
       const dataSize = Buffer.from(data, 'base64').length;
       
       return {
         pubkey,
         dataSize,
         dataHash: require('crypto')
           .createHash('sha256')
           .update(data)
           .digest('hex'),
         lamports: account.lamports,
         owner: account.owner.toBase58(),
         metadata: {
           timestamp: Date.now(),
           slot: accounts.context.slot
         }
       };
     });
   }
   

3. Account Monitoring

   interface AccountChange {
     pubkey: string;
     type: 'created' | 'deleted' | 'modified';
     previous: any;
     current: any;
     difference: number;
   }
   
   class AccountMonitor {
     private previousAccounts: Map<string, any> = new Map();
     
     async monitorAccounts(
       pubkeys: PublicKey[],
       interval: number = 5000
     ): Promise<AccountChange[]> {
       const accounts = await connection.getMultipleAccounts(pubkeys);
       const changes: AccountChange[] = [];
       
       pubkeys.forEach((pubkey, index) => {
         const address = pubkey.toBase58();
         const current = accounts.value[index];
         const previous = this.previousAccounts.get(address);
         
         if (!previous && current) {
           changes.push({
             pubkey: address,
             type: 'created',
             previous: null,
             current,
             difference: current.lamports
           });
         } else if (previous && !current) {
           changes.push({
             pubkey: address,
             type: 'deleted',
             previous,
             current: null,
             difference: -previous.lamports
           });
         } else if (previous && current) {
           const difference = current.lamports - previous.lamports;
           if (difference !== 0 || current.data[0] !== previous.data[0]) {
             changes.push({
               pubkey: address,
               type: 'modified',
               previous,
               current,
               difference
             });
           }
         }
         
         this.previousAccounts.set(address, current);
       });
       
       return changes;
     }
   }
